What to do with the #1 Minor League pick going into 2017

[GwynnInTheHall]

I know HD is coming out with his minor league list soon, but I'm being inundated with trade requests for the #1 pick in RJEL. I was wondering whom that pick might be, maybe the top 2-4. Most all the top guys from last year are rostered so I'm looking for new Draftees or recently signed INTL guys who weren't promoted this season.

Thanks!

I haven't studied much, but I imagine Moniak will be in the conversation.

I think this is a good year to trade down. I don't think there's anyone in the draft this year comparable to Moncada/Swanson/Bregman/Rodgers/Benintendi. If I had the first pick, it'd probably be Francisco Mejia or Senzel or Moniak or a pitcher, and none of that is all that exciting.

So, I turned the #1 pick into Gerrit Cole 16...2018 and Chris Sale 36 anchoring my rotation for this year.

How would we know who to list when we don't know who is taken or conversely which of the top prospects (use MLB.com for convenience) are available

Interesting guys who are available:

Anyone drafted or a J2 signee in 2016
Harrison Bader
Yusniel Diaz
Rhys Hoskins
Eddy Julio Martinez
Willie Calhoun
Mitch Keller
Luiz Gohara
Francisco Mejia
Josh Ockimey

It's an 18-team OBP league using one catcher.

You can ask?

Thought I was pretty clear in my opening post that everyone prior to last year amature draft was taken.

Hope that helps.

Not trying to be a jackars but your first post said "Most all the top guys from last year are rostered"

so it leaves open the possibility that one of the top guys not rostered OR someone who was not a top guy but had a great season and is now much more highly regarded might be available

IF you are talking about last year's draft class, depending upon league salaries I would think the top pick would be Jason Groome amongst the pitchers or Kyle Lewis or Nick Senzel of the hitters (sorry if your minors draft was after June I should be giving you other names)

When did you trade the 1st overall pick?

[Big Tymer]

I got the #1 pick from him back in November for 3 other 1st round picks. Overpay but I had the bullets.

Again, no one else seemed to have an issue understanding the question and if you really wanted to answer the question wouldn't you ask for clarification rather than post some snarky criticism regarding how I posed the question?

BTW, does EVERYONE have two accounts they use to post on this board?
